CROSS HYBRID

Race Allroad 500

Color variants

Frame variants

We designed the Cross Hybrid Race Allroad to be all about everyday versatility - but we didn't forget that riding should be fun, too. The extras like mudguards, lighting system and kickstand make life easier for you, regardless of time of day, type of journey or what the weather happens to be doing. That's the practical part. With Bosch's powerful drive system - including a 500Wh battery as standard - and smooth-shifting 11 speed Shimano gears, combined with an easy to adjust Suntour air sprung fork, you'll be enjoying every turn of the pedals. The Cross Hybrid Race Allroad is the perfect all-rounder whether you're a commuter, a keen weekend rider, or a combination of both.

Geometries

Details

The Cross Hybrid Race Allroad's double butted, aluminium superlite tubeset - combined with a tapered head tube - makes for a light, stiff and strong structure. Why does that matter? Because it's easier, and more fun, to ride. The gravity cast motor housing integrates drive unit and battery cleanly into the lines of the frame, improving transmission efficiency and handling by keeping the weight as low as possible. You can even charge the battery without removing it. Our engineers sweated even the smallest details - so, for example, the 3D forged dropouts make it easy to attach a luggage carrier, and can even be used to pull a bike trailer with a Weber coupling. And, if you have a knock or an accident that damages the rear deralleur, its frame hanger can be easily replaced in a matter of moments. Did we think of everything? No... we don't know where your next ride should take you...

Technology

Aluminium Superlite

Extremely high tensile strength heat-treated 7005 aluminium alloy is developed for the highest requirements. It is very stiff, fatigue resistant, corrosion resistant and has high elongation. Our Superlite tubes are double butted, giving very light tubesets with a high level of stiffness.

Efficient Comfort Geometry

With our specially designed Efficient Comfort Geometry, long distances can be covered easily. Trips with the family, tours with friends or a journey of months - explore the world and life in a new way with our travel series geometry.

Frame Safe System

To protect our high-end aluminium frames from damage, they are built with the CUBE Frame Save System replaceable derailleur hanger. The mounting thread is in the hanger and not in the frame as usual. In case of a crash, this hanger can be easily and quickly replaced by a new one.

Tapered Steerer

This steerer tube design is stiffer than a conventional straight steerer and yields a more secure ride feel even in difficult terrain. Minimal flex at the front of the frame means the greatest possible steering precision. With the larger steerer, the forks become more rigid. At the same time weight is saved due to the absence of bearing shells as the lower bearing is fully integrated into the head tube. On all of our CUBE carbon models the upper bearing shells are also directly in the frame, so that once more a few grams are saved and the energy transfer is very direct.

Wet Paint Surface

On polished, brushed aluminium and all HPC frames, the logos and graphics are applied in multi-layer wet paint. We use this surface treatment technology mainly to save weight.

Optimal Drive Position

The “engine” is the critical part of an Ebike because of its weight and its junction to the regular drivetrain. These factors present a real challenge for the frame design. This is why CUBE developed an innovative new frame construction for the new Ebike generation: simultaneously being the cradle for the electric motor, the pivot for the rear link and the seat of the shock eyelet, the very complex area of the bottom bracket is made of two forged halves. The groove in the front section together with the specially formed down tube is home for the power pack which in this way has a very low position in the frame triangle. The positive outcome is an extremely low center of gravity supporting an agile riding characteristic while achieving a super rigid bottom bracket area.

Easy Mount Kickstand

The Easy Mount Kick Stand is a new system developed and designed by CUBE. The base of the stand is mounted from below to a fitting plate integrated to the frame and fixed with a through bolt. This kick stand is extremely stiff and solid through the enlarged contact areas between base and frame which gives a stable stand even with loaded panniers.

Integrated Cable Routing

Internally routed cables offer many advantages. Cables are protected from dirt for longer life, weight is saved thanks to the absence of external housing and the bike has a clean, sleek appearance.

Smooth Welded

This elaborate procedure with doubled weld seams has two advantages: On the one hand, it improves the firmness of theweld seams and minimizes the load peaks on the tube welds through energy flow and on the other hand, it helps the frameto a better and more organic look due to the smooth and hardly noticeable welds.

StVZO

CUBE Bikes with this labelling fulfill all legal requirements and meet all safety demands according to the StVZO German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations. Lighting systems and reflectors mounted are tested and certified accordingly. These bikes take into account every security-related detail to guarantee safe and relaxed mobility in traffic.
